You know how a band comes to Seattle and plays Key Arena, but somehow you've completely missed their rise to power and barely know who they are? Tomorrow, Muse. Last year they were at the Paramount. Seattlest fav the Ruby Doe are at the Funhouse tonight. Here is the first Youtube band clip you've ever seen from Squilchuck State Park. Mustaine and Megadeth are at the Moore tonight. If Seattlest has to read or hear,......

The Hendrix family is feuding with itself again, this time over publicity rights. From the P-I: But the family war cuts deeper than simple publicity rights, most of which likely are covered under trademark agreements controlled by Experience Hendrix. The larger, tangled blood feud that has played out in a handful of cases in both state and federal courts is between Leon and his adopted sister, Janie Hendrix, over Leon's desire to share in the......

There's been many an ode penned to the backseat lovechild, but not so much the "caught in rush-hour traffic delivery." There in our news feed we spied the unusual byproduct of increased traffic congestion: roadside baby deliveries. In what the Seattle Times is calling a "rash of roadway births" (augh), the 4th King County Interstate-5 baby was delivered yesterday. But this phenomenon must have cropped up already in more congested areas of the country already,......

Get to work you worthless layabouts, and quit mooching off unemployment. Once upon an unemployed summer, Seattlest got very familiar with the hoops you gotta jump through to keep those checks coming. At one point we had to attend a class somewhere on Aurora, but week to week we just had to keep a little job searching log and if that log ever showed that we failed to apply for two positions a week (or......

If Seattlest had any female friends, we'd totally make them go with us to Salon Dewi tomorrow night: Salon Dewi invites you to the launch party for Girlactik Beauty and Mary Green Lingerie. Pre-funk [yeeesssss!] with us Saturday, and let Dewi update your look or just make you look like a fabulous DIVA for the night. We have invited Erin Orden, Seattle's own make-up superstar. She will be rocking the house and creating that......

Rumors abound early this week concerning a most ghastly notion, a dark vision that has kept us sleepless: reportedly, both the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies called Mariners GM Bill Bavasi over the weekend to inquire about a potential trade for Ichiro. Candidates for the swap included Roy Oswalt from Houston and some insulting combination of Bobby Abreu, Cory Lidle, and Arthur Rhodes from Philly. Abreu and Lidle finally landed with the New York Yankees......

If Seattlest had an "Is this for real?" category this event listing would be firmly inside of it, and in fact we lobbied to have this category created but the argument that nearly every post on the site could potentially fall into it swayed the nay votes. Local novelty purveyor Archie Mcphee has been inducing riotously mild amusement with their action figures for years and Seattlest appreciates the Einstein, the Rosie and the son of......

Seattlest has no time. No time to contemplate our future. No time to mindlessly surf the internet. No time to pick blackberries, baby our sunburn, tune up our bike, while away the hours, smell the roses, make another pot of coffee, stop for a 12-pack on the way home, be annoyed by the Blue Angels or write this post. We certainly have no time to attend the Take Back Your Time North American Conference......

Ray Allen's desperation three point try at the end of last night's game looked on target as it arced toward the basket with the final buzzer sounding. But it bounced off the right side of the rim, ending the Sonics' unexpectedly successful season. The Spurs, not Seattle, will advance to the Western Conference finals with a 4-2 series victory, after winning last night 98-96. We watched the game at Tangletown, a "brew pub" near Green......

Well, it happened. What Seattlest consistantly ridicules others for has fallen on ourselves and we are ticketless for the Decemberists' all-ages show tomorrow night. We should have known that that big piece in The Stranger was bad news and that all-ages tickets go fast. We should have known. If Seattlest were the Decemberists right now we'd work out a ditty about there being no room in steerage for our plagued family. Inside The Showbox Friday......

If Seattlest had to guess where this man was arrested, our first try would be "His mom's house," but we'd estimate the charges to be something along the lines of stalking an ex. The first part we would have gotten right: Gerald Krein was arrested at his mother's mobile (nice touch!) home in Oregon Wednesday on charges stemming from an alleged mass suicide ring he fronted on the internet (damn internets). The scheduled date for......
